Your daily briefing, ready each morning.

Start with Morning Brief

Morning Brief creates a show with headline and market updates, and adds local weather if you enter a US ZIP code. Choose a publish time in your timezone and Reducer schedules the daily show and generates a sample episode immediately.

Add RSS feeds, change the news mix, or bring in the material you want to hear alongside the morning essentials.

Ways to feed and extend a show

The web app. Build the show directly: organize its inbox, adjust its template, and set its schedule.

Email forwarding. Every show can mint its own address atin.reducerai.com. Forward a newsletter or an article to it and the subject becomes the segment title. Revoke the address any time and mint a new one.

The REST API. api.reducerai.com accepts an API key for scripts and anything you've built yourself.

Your AI assistant, over MCP. Reducer runs an MCP server athttps://mcp.reducerai.com/mcp. Connect Claude (or another MCP client) once, and your assistant can push segments, see what's in the inbox, compile an episode, and publish it from inside a conversation.

Ask your assistant to put the research it just finished into tomorrow's episode. It can also check whether a topic is already covered before adding a duplicate.

The inbox model

Every show has an inbox. Things arrive as segments — short pieces of text, each with a title and an optional source. The inbox holds them until you've got enough for an episode.

That split is on purpose. You capture whenever; you publish when you mean to. Ten segments across a day, then one episode. Or one segment published right away. After you compile, you can reorder or cut segments on the draft before it goes out.

Templates and widgets

A show can build from its inbox, or from a template. A template is an ordered set of widgets that fills an episode every time it runs.

Widgets can bring in weather, headlines, markets, a fixed intro, a handful of inbox segments, or the next lesson in a course. Each can have its own lead-in. An empty inbox grab can play a message from the audio library.

What Reducer adds

A producer pass writes a cold open — a short greeting with the date and a rundown of what's in the episode — and a sign-off to close it. You can give it tone direction, or turn it off.

Episodes come out with chapters you can tap to jump between and a transcript, both carried in the feed for podcast apps that support them.

One voice or two

By default a single narrator reads the show in a natural, lifelike voice — pick a preset per show and it stays consistent across episodes.

Turn on dialogue mode and episodes become a conversation between two hosts instead. Reducer picks a contrasting second voice for you, or you choose the pairing.

Courses

Point a show at a course and Reducer releases one lesson per episode, in order, on whatever schedule the show is on. There's a catalog of shared courses, and you can publish your own into it — every listener starts at lesson one on their own clock.

Your private feed

Each show gets a permanent private RSS URL. Subscribe once in Apple Podcasts, Overcast, Pocket Casts, or another RSS-capable podcast app, and new episodes appear on their own. The URL includes a token, so only people you hand it to can subscribe.

For a single episode, generate a listen page instead — a shareable link with the audio, chapters, and transcript that opens without an account.

On a schedule

Put a show on a daily or weekly schedule, in your own timezone, and episodes publish themselves — a brief waiting for you each morning with no manual step. If the inbox is empty at publish time, Reducer skips that run rather than shipping a hollow episode.
